Haven't you heard the news? Why,
since the prohibition campaign began
there has been more wine made in Texas
than in all the ages gone by, in the Imsgi-
nation of the antis.- Texas is one solid
vineyard and wine vatnow.-[Tyler Dem
ocrat.
Prohibition is not partisan question,
no matter how persistently and ingeni-
ously its enemies may assert to the con-
trary. AS true southern men and leaders
as MaXey, Culberson, Colquit of Georgia,
J Bate of Tennessee, and many others, say
it is purely question of police regula-
ton; OF local sef-government; the will
of the majority at the polls, the simple
prohibition or stopping of certain kind
of traffic that majority believe is iniu-
rious to the general welfare. The con-
stitution of the United States and of
Texas, say the people have the unques-
toned right to vote on such a PROPOSE
ton, and that it is in keeping with the
genius and spirit Of true Republican gov
eminent Fairfield Recorder.

This is Irish for "Clear the wav.n
| A good friend on reading our article in
last evenings paper Gin which there were
| four typographical errors that spoiled it's
force) said "that is almost Irish in it's en-
| thusiasm." The writer says to this
| friend that the man who could sit temely
down and listen to Mills, the Magnificent,
in bis great speech and not have his heart
fired, would have no heart. 1t is Irish, if
Irish means sincerity. As we sat at
Mills side and heard his grand perora-
ton it dissipated all our fears for the
safety Of that Democracy we love so well.
There is no man possessing soul as
| large as grain of mustard seed could be
cold and silent when this new and great
lest of apostles of liberty laid down the
tenets that will govern US in future. r.
Q. Mills is the great slight that shineth
in the darkness-though the darkness
comprehendeth it not" He is the pillar
of fire by night and the pillar of cloud by
day, that shall lead US out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage. He
is the Mecca to which all eyes have
turned. He Is the Alpha and Omega of
freedom! He has sounded the tocsln of
liberty, and all the earth shall take up
the sound till the round world and they
that dwell therein shall cry, this is the
new Kosciusco!
This is the new Tell!
This is the new Bruce!
This Is the new Lamartine!
This is the new Washington!
CowardiCe stands aghastl
Trickery stands abashedl
Trucking stands appalled,!
The storm clouds that gathered around
our fair state are rifted
This Texan Demosthenes, with the
thunders of his eloquence and lightnings
of his sarcasm, has broken the chains of
apathy and fear-has rended and laid
bare the plots of our enemies.
Faugh-a-BEllagh The old war CRY has
rung out and we say, "Clear the way!"
Clear the way for ''iberty!" The star
eyed goddess has touched with her wand
the old hero of "neW hope" and new hope
has sprung up in the hearts of the people.
There is no room for doubt, calculation
or dread because the Democrat and Re-
publican-black and White-are shoulder
TO shoulder and heart to heart, man to
man, before the law and before God, to
fight the battle of personal liberty.
Faugh-a- BaHagh! Clear the way Stand
aside or be crushed to atoms The
land has been wakened ! The high
est noblest roof and the lowliest
cabin of our country shall hear
that speech. 1t shall waken the heart of
friend and foe. It shall become staff
for our friends and a menace and terror
to our enemies. 1t shall ring in the ears
of the secret enemies of freedom, be they
in what guise they may, and shall sit like
q ghost at their banquets. 1t shall be
heard wherever the name of liberty is
heard, and above all, and beyond ell, and
through all, shall be heard the great
warning-Faugh-a- Ballagh! Aye, even
as Davis, Ireland's greatest poet, said, so
say we:
Knaves and traitors,
Stand aside
Foes of freedom,
Faugh-a-B allagh

The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Associa-
ton of st. Louis issued it's instructions
to the whisky dealers of Texas on March
5. The importance of raising as much
money as possible here, of securing the
influence of papers, of engaging good
speakers, and of thorough organization
were all strictly enioined. The full aid
and support of this association were also
fully assured. That the anti-prohi-
tionists will have the active sup
port of the "barreI' of the great liquor
houses and brewing associations beyond
the state goes without contradiction. But
there is something suggestive about this
circular address from the Anheuser-Busch
Association. A meeting was soon held at
Austin, the Dallas convention called, and
in this convention all classes but
the saloon men were invited to par
ticipate. A number of papers chopped"
and several leading men, who had been
undecided, tumbled to the whisky side.
